<p><strong>Bel-Air Equestrian Centre</strong> is situated in the old court yard of Bel-Air Hotel, 20 metres from the manor house itself. The old stables are full of character and you can see the evidence of times past.</p>

<p>We are probably best known for our cross-country ride-outs, and specialise in building rider confidence on the cross-country course. But we also offer scenic ride-outs, hacking and instruction in all disciplines. We cater for experienced adults and teenagers, but you don&rsquo;t need experience in cross-country jumping. Group and private lessons are available for regular riders as well as holiday guests.</p>

<p>Our well-schooled, experienced horses are a joy to ride. They will look after you when you need it, and yet rise to the challenge a more experienced rider is looking for. If you are comfortable in canter outside of the arena, we will have a suitable horse for you.</p>

<p>Bel-Air is the longest established riding centre in Ireland, and when Fidelma set up the centre in the 1950&rsquo;s her aim was to let others experience what she had every day. Her motto was for the guests &ldquo;to be able to ride great quality horses in beautiful surroundings&rdquo;. And this still rings true today.</p>

<p><em>Bel-Air was made for horses and riding &ndash; come and experience it for yourself!</em></p>
